Eye Lounge

This Roosevelt Row gallery has been the “it” place to see and be seen on downtown Phoenix First Fridays for years. eye lounge, an artist-run collective, has been around since 1999 but at its current location since Decemeber 2001. It's a staple in the underground arts scene, a must-see spot on First Fridays and a supporter of Third Friday events as well. They've always got a nice selection of exhibitions going on and have featured rotating murals to showcase those exhibitions in the past. We love to lurk around this contemporary art space not only because of the artistic eye candy, but also because at eye lounge you're almost guaranteed to catch glimpses of – and maybe even interact with – some of the biggest names in the local art scene.
